Alternate Ports for Sending E-mail

When installing or setting up a software client to connect to GUMail, use the chart below to determine the right SMTP port to configure with your e-mail client software. This chart only includes those clients recommended and fully supported by UIS.

As of May 24, 2008, connections using SSL are no longer supported.  Connections using TLS security are supported on all ports.
